Unknown integer coding error about boopickle HOT 5 OPEN

I don't have much to add to this. I've used boopickle a lot with property tests (which generates massive strings) and I've never seen it fail. If you could provide a reproduction, a failing test case, that would really help.

I wonder why readInt gets invoked when my case class does not have any Int fields?

Encoders for other formats will serialise ints. Eg. string length and list length.

As a workaround, I'm doing rawToken.grouped(120).toList, the API then takes a List[String] instead, and on frontend side I do rawTokenParts.mkString. Works.

I got into the same issue again. This time I had:

case class UserView(
  // ...
  roles: List[String]
)

and users fetched from database had either user or admin roles (note: both short strings, shorter than 127 chars).
Yet I got the same deserializer error.

Trying other collections like Vector does not help either.

Any ideas what this might be? /cc @ochrons @japgolly

Usually, I have seen these kind of errors, when the wrong codec is used for decoding in the frontend. Like, you might be returning an error message in the backend and the frontend wants to decode it as a success. Do you have more logs for these events? Or can you somehow reproduce it in a contained example?
